What is Seed Dispersal and Types? Ecological Services Class 12 Biology

In this article, we will study What is Seed Dispersal? and types of seed Dispersal from Ecological Services Class 12 Biology.
A seed is a part of the plant that bears a baby plant inside it. The hard structure of the seed acts as a protective outer covering for the embryonic/baby plant enclosed in it. The formation of the seed is a part of the process of reproduction in flowering plants.
Seeds grow into new plants, but if the seeds just fall to the ground near the parent plant, then there would be increased demands for sunlight, water, and nutrients within the limited area. As a result, all the seeds, as well as the parent plants, might not get enough sunlight, water or nutrients from the soil. Consequently, this will inhibit the proper growth of the parent plants as well as the seeds from which the baby plant will come out.
Plants cannot walk around to take their seeds to other places so, they have developed other methods so that their seeds are taken away at distant places. The various means that carry the seeds far off places from the parent plants are wind, water, animals, explosion and fire.
Plant regeneration is essential for maintaining forest biodiversity and the functioning of the ecosystem. Therefore, seed dispersal is an essential ecological service.

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September?

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September? After independence, the Government of India set a goal to give an ideal form to the mother tongue of the country and set a target for grammar and orthography using the Devanagari script to bring standardization in writing. Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India. To propagate the importance of this decision and to spread Hindi in every region, India is celebrating Hindi Day every year from 1953 to 14 September, at the request of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha. Apart from this, 14 September is also the birthday of Rajendra Singh, who worked tirelessly to make Hindi the official language of India. Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne
